RESUMO

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most frequently used drugs that can cause liver toxicity. The aim of this study was to integrate bioanalytical and population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) assay to rapidly screen and quantify the concentrations of NSAIDs in plasma and monitor clinical safety. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of acetaminophen (APAP), flurbiprofen (FLB), aspirin (ASP), and ibuprofen (IBP), four commonly used NSAIDs. The PopPK model of the signature toxicant was analyzed based on the published literature. The LC-MS/MS method was successfully validated and applied to determine NSAID concentrations in patient plasma samples. APAP, ASP, and IBP data were best fitted using a one-compartment model, and FLB data were best fitted using a two-compartment model. Bootstrapping and visual predictive checks suggested that a robust and reliable pharmacokinetic model was developed. A fast, simple, and sensitive LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for determining APAP, FLB, ASP, and IBP in human plasma. Combined with the PopPK model, this method was applied to rapidly analyze the concentrations of NSAIDs in clinical samples from patients presenting to the emergency department with acute liver dysfunction and monitored NSAIDs clinical safety.

RESUMO

Ceftaroline, approved to treat skin infections and pneumonia due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), has been considered for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) infections. A population pharmacokinetic (popPK) model was developed to describe ceftaroline soft tissue and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) distributions and investigate the probability of target attainment (PTA) of the percentage of the dosing interval that the unbound drug concentration exceeded the MIC (%fT>MIC) to treat MRSA infections. Healthy subjects' plasma and microdialysate concentrations from muscle and subcutaneous tissue following 600 mg every 12 h (q12h) and q8h and neurosurgical patients' plasma and CSF concentrations following single 600-mg dosing were used. Plasma concentrations were described by a two-compartment model, and tissue concentrations were incorporated as three independent compartments linked to the central compartment by bidirectional transport (clearance in [CLin] and CLout). Apparent volumes were fixed to physiological interstitial values. Healthy status and body weight were identified as covariates for the volume of the central compartment, and creatinine clearance was identified for clearance. The CSF glucose concentration (GLUC) was inversely correlated with CLin,CSF. Simulations showed a PTA of >90% in plasma and soft tissues for both regimens assuming an MIC of 1 mg/L and a %fT>MIC of 28.8%. Using the same target, patients with inflamed meninges (0.5 < GLUC ≤ 2 mmol/L) would reach PTAs of 99.8% and 97.2% for 600 mg q8h and q12h, respectively. For brain infection with mild inflammation (2 < GLUC ≤ 3.5 mmol/L), the PTAs would be reduced to 34.3% and 9.1%, respectively. Ceftaroline's penetration enhanced by meningeal inflammation suggests that the drug could be a candidate to treat MRSA CNS infections.

RESUMO

AIMS: Transgender women (TGW) have been underrepresented in trials and use gender-affirming hormonal therapies (GAHT) that may alter renal function by significantly increasing creatinine clearance. Population pharmacokinetic (popPK) models and simulations would aid in understanding potential differences in emtricitabine/tenofovir disproxil fumarate (F/TDF) parent-metabolite concentrations in TGW on GAHT when compared to cisgender men (CGM) not exposed to GAHT. METHODS: Pharmacokinetic (PK) data from a Phase 1, open-label clinical trial with directly observed therapy of daily F/TDF consisting of 8 TGW and 8 CGM was utilized for model building. PopPK analysis was performed using nonlinear mixed effects modelling (NONMEM 7.5.0). Covariates of body weight, creatinine clearance, and gender were evaluated. Final models were subjected to Monte Carlo simulations to compare drug exposure following once daily and on-demand (IPERGAY 2 + 1 + 1) dosing of F/TDF. RESULTS: Tenofovir (TFV) and emtricitabine PK were best described by a 2-compartment model, first-order absorption/elimination with absorption lag time. Parent models were linked to their metabolites by first order formation and elimination. Creatinine clearance was a significant covariate influencing clearance in both models. Simulations demonstrated that at least 2, weekly 2 + 1 + 1 cycles of on-demand dosing in TGW on GAHT is necessary for TFV-diphosphate to reach similar exposure after the initial week of on-demand dosing in CGM not on GAHT. CONCLUSION: PopPK models of TFV, emtricitabine and intracellular metabolites in TGW were established. Dose simulations revealed that TGW should be treated for at least 2 weeks to have comparable exposures to CGM.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The present work aimed to evaluate the influence of experimental meningitis caused by C. neoformans on total plasma and free brain concentrations of fluconazole (FLC) in Wistar rats. METHOD: The infection was induced by the administration of 100 µL of inoculum (1.105 CFU) through the tail vein. Free drug in the brain was assessed by microdialisys (µD). Blood and µD samples were collected at pre-determined time points up to 12 h after intravenous administration of FLC (20 mg/kg) to healthy and infected rats. The concentration-time profiles were analyzed by non-compartmental and population pharmacokinetics approaches. RESULTS: A two-compartmental popPK model was able to simultaneously describe plasma and free drug concentrations in the brain for both groups investigated. Analysis of plasma and µD samples showed a better FLC distribution on the brain of infected than healthy animals (1.04 ± 0.31 vs 0.69 ± 0.14, respectively). The probability of target attainment was calculated by Monte Carlo simulations based on the developed popPK model for 125 mg/kg dose for rats and 400-2000 mg for humans. CONCLUSIONS: FLC showed a limited use in monotherapy to the treatment of criptoccocosis in rats and humans to value of MIC >8 µg/mL.

RESUMO

Background: This prospective, open-label trial was conducted to fulfil a post-approval commitment made to the competent authorities to extend the indication of the strong opioid analgesic tapentadol hydrochloride oral solution (OS) to the pediatric population. Patients and Methods: The trial assessed the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of tapentadol, tapentadol-O-glucuronide and tapentadol-O-sulfate after administration of multiple doses of tapentadol OS (1.25 mg tapentadol/kg bodyweight every 4 h for up to 72 h) in children aged 2 to <7 years after a painful event that produces acute pain requiring treatment with a strong analgesic. The obtained PK data were integrated into a previously developed population PK (popPK) model based on single-dose data and then a model-based PK evaluation was performed. The primary trial endpoint was the area under the concentration-time curve at steady state for the dosing interval (AUCτ,ss) for tapentadol. Results: Ten children received tapentadol OS; all completed the trial. Multiple administrations of the trial medication resulted in tapentadol serum concentrations within the concentration range predicted by the previously developed popPK model. The estimated model-based AUCτ,ss values for tapentadol ranged from 142 to 321 h•ng/mL. They were within the predicted exposure range with no higher than expected accumulation for the employed dosing regimen and also within the targeted steady state exposure range observed in adults receiving multiple doses of immediate release tapentadol 50 to 100 mg. The treatment regimen was safe and well tolerated. Conclusion: The findings confirm the linear and predictable PK profile of tapentadol hydrochloride. The good agreement between the observed data and the model predictions shows the value of modelling and simulations in the planning and analysis of pediatric clinical trials and the ability to utilize the established PK models to predict multiple dose exposure.

RESUMO

Biofilms and infectious process may alter free antimicrobial concentrations at the site of infection. Tobramycin (TOB), an aminoglycoside used to treat lung infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, binds to alginate present in biofilm extracellular matrix increasing its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). This work aimed to investigate the impact of biofilm-forming P. aeruginosa infection on TOB lung and epithelial lining fluid (ELF) penetration, using microdialysis, and to develop a population pharmacokinetic (popPK) model to evaluate the probability of therapeutic target attainment of current dosing regimens employed in fibrocystic and non-fibrocystic patients. The popPK model developed has three compartments including the lung. The ELF concentrations were described by a penetration factor derived from the lung compartment. Infection was a covariate in lung volume (V3) and only chronic infection was a covariate in central volume (V1) and total clearance (CL). Simulations of the recommended treatments for acute and chronic infection achieved >90% probability of target attainment (PTA) in the lung with 4.5 mg/kg q24h and 11 mg/kg q24h, respectively, for the most prevalent P. aeruginosa MIC (0.5 mg/mL). The popPK model was successfully applied to evaluate the PTA of current TOB dosing regimens used in the clinic, indicating the need to investigate alternative posology.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibition with monoclonal antibodies such as alirocumab significantly reduces low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels ± other lipid-lowering therapies. We aimed to develop and qualify a population pharmacokinetics (PopPK) model for alirocumab in healthy subjects and patients, taking into account the mechanistic target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) process. METHODS: This TMDD model was developed using a subset of the alirocumab clinical trial database, including nine phase I/II/III studies (n = 527); the model was subsequently expanded to a larger data set of 13 studies (n = 2870). Potential model parameters and covariate relationships were explored, and predictive ability was qualified using a visual predictive check. RESULTS: The TMDD model was built using the quasi-steady-state approximation. The final TMDD-quasi-steady-state model included a significant relationship between distribution volume of the central compartment and disease state: distribution volume of the central compartment was 1.56-fold higher in patients vs. healthy subjects. Separately, application of the model to the expanded data set revealed a significant relationship between linear clearance and statin co-administration: linear clearance was 1.27-fold higher with statins. The good predictive performance of the TMDD model was assessed based on graphical and numerical quality criteria, together with the visual predictive check and comparison of the predictions to those from a PopPK model with parallel linear and Michaelis-Menten clearances (i.e., simplification of the TMDD PopPK model). CONCLUSIONS: This mechanistic TMDD PopPK model integrates the interaction of alirocumab with its target and accurately predicts both alirocumab and total proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 concentrations in healthy subjects and patients.
